Thread: Vertical Stride(poem)

I haven't been on for a while cause I've been grounded but my mom finally said i can get on but i'm still grounded. just thought i'd say something in case anyone was wondering. Nevermind, no one probably even noticed I was gone... but thats ok. Anyway, getting to the point- here's a poem I made. for some reason i was so proud that i wrote it- but lets see what you guys think.


I went outside one night
The moon my only light
And as I looked up; I thoght that I would cry
There was a young woman falling from the sky
Her head slightly cocked
Her eyes wide and shocked
Her face was so pale
But it told me her tale
"I'm lost within a hopeless haze"
Cried her mindless gaze
With no more dreams to follow
She fell-completely hollow
Full of sorrow and regret
I felt as if we'd met
Dressed in silk and lace
A fatal fall from grace
And to my horror, I relized she was me
How could this be?
Before I had another thought
I found the answer that i sought
My world began to fade
And i found myself within night's shade
Falling through the sky
The clouds speeding by
My laced pajamas streaming out
I could not move; I could not shout
I tried to warn the me below
But she stood; transfixed by the show
I already knew it was too late
How'd I get stuck with such a horrible fate?
So manyy things I wanted to do
But I had no more dreams to follow me through
I watched helpless as she disappeared;
The cold hard stone readily neared
I felt so empty deep inside
And there was nothing to break my vertical stride
Tears sparkling all around
I awaited my death into the ground
I closed my eyes and ceased to cry
Cause when there's nothing left, your not afriad to die.
